In between crafting…
I’m watching funny things and going to Portland (my quilt guild meeting was last night). So this pretty much took the cake. Enjoy.
The next big adventure
So last weekend we took Tuesday to the pumpkin patch. We met up with a couple of friends: Karen’s lovely funny girls… and Karen, of course. This is as close as I got to all three toddlers together… FAIL! 🙂 Tuesday picked this pumpkin. Whenever we walk up to the house she does this little …
The Beach
We had a great weekend. Saturday we picked up Sarah and headed to the coast. Tuesday spots the big water (her sign for water is a finger by her mouth… she can’t quite make the “w” sign). For some reason the water was quite nasty, lots of foam, so she wasn’t able to play in …
Strawberries!
Tuesday Lee loves strawberries. My mom takes her to pancacks early in the morning some days and she always gets her pancakes. I thought it would be fitting to take her picking. Erin, Sarah and Sciarrino joined us, quite a fun group. Tuesday enjoyed toddling around the field barefoot and sampling as she went. Aunt …

I’ll take you up on that!
My friend Tracy was lucky enough to stay in a beach cottage all this last week and had a few extra rooms. She wondered if our little family would like them to keep her and her little cutie company while her husband had to return to work. Needless to say we jumped at that! Bj …
Goodbye Tree – Hello Giveaway
GOOD JOB EMILY – YOU GOT IT ON THE NOSE. THE TREE WAS 97 YEARS OLD. Remember when I said our power was out? This is why: Dwarfs their house a bit huh? This is my neighbor's tree AFTER a whole day of trimming, and it actually looks pretty good here. This giant …
